“…La tomografía computerizada (TC) puede ayudar al diagnóstico diferencial preoperatorio con el tumor de wilms. Cuando nuestra niña fue dignosticada, la TC no estaba desarrollada en nuestro centro, por ello fue sometida a una arteriografía, prueba que hoy día habitualmente no es precisa 5 .…”

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an uncommon chronic inflammatory renal disorder. Most cases have been described in middle aged women and it is extremely rare in children. We report a case of a 4 year old girl who suffered from recurrent urinary tract infection and antibiotic therapy resistance. She had low growth-rate and palpable left renal mass on examination and was confirmed by radiological findings. We performed left kidney partial resection and then histological examination showed focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. The focal form of the disease may respond to antibiotic treatment although usually an enucleation or partial resection must be performed. In conclusion xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a renal mass and recurrent urinary tract infection in childhood.

“…The typical picture is one of an asymmetrically enlarged kidney with signs of destruction of the collecting system and one or more calculi, usually in the pelvis (5). The intravenous pyelography usually shows a non-functioning kidney even if a more localized form of the disease can sometimes be seen in children (6). Sonography and computed tomography give important information and can show the extra-renal component of the inflammatory process (5).…”

An ultrasound examination performed on a young woman with a long history of urinary tract infection demonstrated multiple subcapsular sonolucencies suggestive of multiple abscesses. The combination of the ultrasonic appearance, the clinical history, and a large nonfunctioning kidney with calculi on intravenous pyelography allowed us to suggest the diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. Ultrasound plays an even greater role in patients who are allergic to iodinated contrast material in whom intravenous pyelograms and arteriograms may be contraindicated.
